But thanks to increasing pollution, stress and poor lifestyle habits, the magnitude of the problem is increasing manifold. Nowadays, people in their 20s and 30s are also experiencing loss problems and resorting to effective hair replacement systems for help.

Hair replacement systems including systems and toupees help people wear their normal look despite facing serious hair loss problems. But like normal hair, these systems too should be appropriately taken care of for enjoying long lasting results. Here are a few tips on how one can take care of his/her hair replacement system:

Regular Cleaning: Just like natural the replacement systems too should be cleaned regularly for best results. But unfortunately, one cannot and should not use the soaps and shampoos commonly used at home. Consider using specially designed shampoos and hair care equipment designed and crafted by toupees experts to take care of your replacement system.
UV Protection: Constant exposure to sunlight and UV rays can damage and discolour the hair replacement system. As the system comes in contact with the UV rays of the sun, the system begins to turn orange or red in colour. Although the best protective way is to avoid sunrays, one might also consider wearing a hat or scarf when venturing out in the sun.
Prevent Hair Loss: Hair loss not just impacts natural hair, but it also spells danger for systems. Detangle hair carefully with a wide toothed comb and use satin pillowcases to avoid friction. Also, prefer a spray-on or leave-in conditioner over rinse type conditioners.
Keep Hair Soft: The softer the hair strands in the toupees, lesser will the chances of breakage and damage. To keep your soft use more conditioner and products that contain sunscreen. On the contrary, avoid excessive shampooing, swimming in chlorine water and blow drying.
Hair Colouring: If the system begins to fade and lose its luster consider colour restoration procedure. This can be a DIY task. One needs to procure a professional colouring kit and follow the application instructions step-by-step. If it appears tricky, seek professional help for flawless services.
Washing and Shampooing Tips: While it is important to condition and comb the replacement system on a daily basis, we do not recommend shampooing it every day. This can cause the system to dry out, increasing the odds of detangling and hair loss.

Taking the best care of your system will make sure you enjoy your investment to the maximum and over a long period of time.

For many women, unexplained hair loss can take a significant psychological toll on their overall quality of life.

According to him, dermatologists use procedures Micro Scalp Pigmentation, drugs , nutritional supplements as well as other laser surgeries to rejuvenate the scalp and boost hair growth.

Hair transplant

A surgical procedure that moves permanent hair from the back of the scalp to balding or thinning area where it will grow permanently. There are two types—Follicular Unit Transplantation, FUT, is carried out under local anaesthetics. Hair is removed from the back of the head and dissected into grafts and inserted into the recipient site. It is great for covering large bald areas in a fast and effective way.

Micro Scalp Pigmentation

This innovative procedure, also known as MSP or Scalp Tattoo, is a non-invasive, non-medicated and non-surgical way of creating the look of a shaved head of hair. This ground- breaking treatment can also be used to add visual density to thinning hair for men and women, as well as alopecia (hair loss) sufferers.

MSP gives the appearance of some hair and approximation of a hairline, without actually having real hair present. It can also be used to camouflage transplant scars or to shade small areas where hair is thinning to make hair appear denser.

Follicular Unit Extraction

Uses the latest technology to extract individual hairs from the donor area to be carefully placed and planted into the recipient area.

The relocated follicles keep growing naturally. It leaves almost no scarring, giving clients the confidence to wear hair in a short style.

Otubanjo, who is the Chief Executive Officer, Vinci Hair Clinic Nigeria says the clinic was established to not just provide solutions to traction alopecia and also reduce the number of Nigerians travelling abroad for such treatments.

He says, “In the past, Nigerians had to travel abroad to Western Europe, USA or Dubai for these treatments which resulted in them spending up to three times the amount it costs to have it done here. This is why we are providing these services locally.
